Read Chapter 16Chapter 16:  The Wrath of God:

In the previous chapter, we see the bond-servants of God and Christ who overcame standing on the sea of glass before the throne of God and the Lamb.  They have overcome Satan's beasts and the false teachings.

Now the time has come for the wrath of God to be poured out on those who worshiped the image of Satan's beast...and had the beast's mark:

Chapter 16 begins with the first bowl of wrath being poured out:

New American Standard Version of the BibleAnd I heard a loud voice from the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth." 2And the first angel went and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.  Revelation 16:1-2 (NAS)

According to Revelation 16:2, when the first bowl was poured out into the earth, it became a loathsome and malignant sore upon whom?

  2. Only those who had the mark of the beast.
